The former Missouri 110m hurdling king took flight in the second quarter of the Cowboys' 27-10 NFC East triumph on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Dallas faced a 2nd and 10 on the play from the Eagles' 40-yard-line.

Elliott took a handoff to the left side of Dak Prescott and bolted through a hole through the left side of the Cowboys' offensive line. He raced through space, passing the first down marker before approaching Eagles safety Tre Sullivan.

The Eagle' 6-foot defender ducked down to hit Elliott, but found only air as the Cowboys star jumped over him at the 25-yard-line. Elliott continued his sprint until falling down inside the 10-yard-line on the 32-yard run. The Cowboys completed the drive with a 31-yard Brett Maher field goal, taking a 6-0 lead.

"We've seen him make that move before," Jones said. "I don't know if I've ever seen him totally clear [a defender] like on that one. He's phenomenal. Everybody understands that and says what an athlete he is. But he also is a competitor."

Elliott was the best offensive player on the field during the Cowboys' victory, running for 151 yards and a score on 19 carries and bringing in six catches for 36 yards and a score.

Elliott has 831 yards and four scores on 168 carries this season. He also has 35 receptions for 262 yards and two scores on a career-high 35 catches.
